Default installed my new intake

I am super excited, it came with a full heat shield. Yes, I said full heat shield and better yet, the company I ordered it from messed up and gave me a powdercoated one for no charge. It only cost me $45 shipped. It looks so awesome. The only thing I have to do is replace the air filter that came with it with a K&N filter. Other than that, everything is all good. On with the pics!

And also I installed the replacement chrome grille molding I bought off of ebay. It's not an exact duplicate of the oem, but it looks good nonetheless.

Yeah, I found out that's what it was by the other companies that sell that same intake. Only the company I bought mine from offers powder coating. I just got lucky they messed up thier inventory. I'm not telling people to run over to ebay and start buying with hopes of getting the same deal lol. Here's the link to the store page on ebay. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/tjkustom...__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Is your valve cover powdercoated. It looks sick! That's a nice intake too!

Krylon Fusion works great for painting plastics.

Thats not valve covers... its an engine cover.
Or to be totally correct, its an upper intake beautification cover.

I like the inake Dave. Looks killer for the price!
I gotta do some work to my intake before my next show. I got a full CAI airbox I fabricated over a year ago and still haven't put it in yet.
